Thanks to latest technologies and mass production, you can now buy cheap mini blinds for your windows without having to take loans or save money in order to afford them. Mini blinds are those horizontal blinds featuring narrower slats, usually 1” or even ½”. They are also known as Venetian blinds.

Cheap mini blinds are available at almost all window treatments companies such as Hunter Douglas, Bali, Levolor, 3 Day Blinds or Gruber. I suppose that you can find some on eBay or in comparison shopping malls online. Of course, nobody should expect top notch quality and latest state-of-the-art safety features or automation, but for the basic needs of privacy and light filtering, most people can now have a beautiful home with windows that look good and are functional. I’ve discussed this in one of the previous articles, with examples of how cheap one can find such window coverings in case they are willing to invest some time in smart shopping.

Most cheap mini blinds models are made either of vinyl or aluminum, colored according to the customer’s preference. The colors spectrum is not as large as in case of premium blinds, but you can have several shades of white or cream, two-three types of brown and even black. Their slats are curved, for offering more strength and flexibility.

Some people may say that cheap mini blinds are only a temporary solution to cover your windows, until you can afford to buy some better ones. I’d argue by telling them that I’ve got these aluminum cheap mini blinds in my home since 8 years ago and they are still looking as good as in the first day. The only maintenance is dusting the slats every other day and cleaning them with a damp cloth every two months or so. The only thing that’s looking like old are the wands that rotate the slats. In the beginning they were transparent, but they turned to yellow and it seems that they are going to be brown soon. Probably I could replace them with new ones with very little money.

Believe me, if I’d need to buy new window treatments today, I’d still go for such cheap mini blinds and be happy.
